Hi.

Is your lpd running to begin with?  Does top or ps show it?  If not, maybe you could start lpd "/usr/sbin/lpd" and then try the "lpc restart all" again.  That was the cause when I had this error before.

If that's the culuprit, you could set your rc.conf to load lpd at boot time in case there's a power outage or something in the future.  Editing your rc.conf to have "YES" by the lpd line, or using the menu from /stand/sysinstall would do.

Hope this helps,

jon b
